All Terrain – a sonic diary in lockdown -2020

Recordings of the body through lockdown 2020 for the Sonic Arts Research Unit at Oxford Brookes University. The pandemic knew no borders and people across the globe were united by our bodies susceptibility to catching the virus. Global coordinates and text is seen here:

Confinement brought me the near at hand under the microscope. A focusing in on ‘skin’ instigated conversations with collaborators, animator Vicky Smith and sound artists Matt Davies, about recording under the skin.

The world of sound I recorded with in me was similar to the world of sound within all the people across the world dealing with the same unknown virus and threat. In All Terrain, texts describes their words and coordinates describe their whereabouts.

Thanks to Paul Whitty and Patrick Farmer at SARU at Oxford Brookes University for encouraging contact between artists and in this case sonic diary keeping.
